MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA:

Mr. Ratliff asked about the Fire Dept. do we have a similar plan for the Fire Fighters. Mayor Schertzer said our first goal is to maintain the staffing level that coincides with the Federal Grant that we received. We had a couple of retirements. One in December and one in January. Those positions have to be filled quickly to be in compliance with that Grant. We are putting together a written test and agility test to replace those 2 retirees. After that we will determine of how we get additional persons. We expect and hope throughout the year we will start building up the forces there as well. Mrs. Gustin asked about the two types of tests. Mayor Schertzer reiterated as agility and written examination.
